erinsmom03 Posted June 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2020 So will this be the new normal for the near future? Will other states and countries follow suit? https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/5382/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alter Ego Posted June 8, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Probably yes. Just saw an ad from someone I follow on Insta - Sri Lanka is opening on 8/01 to apparently everyone. Need a COVID-19 free certificate issued not earlier than 72 hours before boarding your flight. But, they aren’t stopping there. You will also be tested at the airport, tested after 5 days and tested once more after 10 days if you are still there. I realize Sri Lanka may not be on anyone’s radar (it’s not someplace I’m going to be traveling to anytime soon!) but it goes along with the OP’s question about other countries. May just be another example of the “new normal”. Edited June 8, 2020 by Alter Ego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me I remember. Cruised week of 9/11, was in Florida Oct2001 week of Anthrax attack. Though was surprised when got to airport after a Dec2001 Cruise where having everyone take shoes off. Was within hrs of Reids attempt. But Feb 2002 my now Ex and I got to airport boarding plane and started our Cruise no problems. Was interesting as she left home without any form of ID. Fortunately I'm always ready, brought her Birth Certificate which was only thing 2 different Airlines, Security and Cruise Line needed from her. At least Disney World was frisking everyone and had tables set up going threw every bag weeks after 9/11... All that happening then 4 of 5 yrs I was on Cruise a Family Member at home Died. Within 15 Month Period Flying 2 different Planes had Flat Tires, another one had Cracked Windshield, another Electrical Cockpit Failures, another had lighting issues, another had no AirCon, and one had broke toilets. All causing returning Airport, Gate or Emergency Landings at Alt Airports. For while nobody wanted travel with me...

njkruzer Posted June 9, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Question. Test is only applicable the moment taken. Could be exposed in the 72 hrs. Also need fast response testing. Hard to get tested without symptoms, I think. Also, who's paying? Not sure if this will last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bermudadude54 Posted June 9, 2020 #24 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Unless you self quarantine for the entire time after recieving the covid test and continue to self quarantine after the negative test result (and just how do you do that if you travel for up to 24 hours of that time period), then their will be no guarantee that you did not become infected in that 72 hour time period. It sounds to me like it sounds good but really will not stop the spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurschick Posted June 9, 2020 #25 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The problem is “idiot” travelers. I was just reading a news article about a man from Switzerland who flew this week to UK knowing he was ill, claiming he didn’t know the rules and now wants to go to hospital. He claims he is Covid free, even though he thinks he has had it. You have to ask how he was allowed to ever board the flight, but clearly some people clearly have no regard for others even though the know they are ill. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
